🌟 Cath Starter Kit
==================

[](#-cath-starter-kit)

🚀 Introduction
--------------

[](#-introduction)

Welcome to the **Cath Starter Kit**! This setup is designed for developers who want a **lightweight, modern, and efficient** foundation for building Laravel applications with a React frontend powered by **[Inertia.js](https://inertiajs.com)**.

This kit is **JavaScript-first**, using **JSX instead of TSX**, making it accessible to developers who prefer plain JavaScript over TypeScript. It includes **React 19, TailwindCSS 4**, and Breeze for simple authentication and scaffolding.

---

⚡ Create Inertia Components Easily
----------------------------------

[](#-create-inertia-components-easily)

This starter kit includes a custom Artisan command to quickly generate Inertia.js React components:

### 🏗️ Generate a New Component

[](#️-generate-a-new-component)

```
php artisan make:inertia Components/MyComponent
```

This will create a new file at `resources/js/Components/MyComponent.jsx` with a basic component template.

### 📂 File Structure

[](#-file-structure)

```
resources/js/Components/MyComponent.jsx

```

### ✨ Example Generated Component

[](#-example-generated-component)

```
import React from "react";

const MyComponent = () => {
    return {/* MyComponent component */};
};

export default MyComponent;
```

This command ensures that components are placed in the correct directory and prevents overwriting existing files. It also automatically opens the newly created file for editing.
